Description Wojciech Owczarczyk CLA 2012-02-08 08:56:54 EST 
Build Identifier: 20110916-0149

Split pasted qualified class name (i.e. com.foo.service.MyClass) automatically to "Package" and "Name" fields instead of displaying error "Type name must not be qualified."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on project -> New -> Class
2. Paste qualified Class name in Name: field (i.e. com.foo.service.MyClass)

One more little enhancement I can think of is to check the clipboard  and fill package and class name on opening "New Class Window". But that may be a little invasive and probably should be somehow customizable.

We only split automatically if the package name would be valid and the Name field was empty (or fully selected) before pasting.

We never automatically paste (e.g. since that could be a security problem).
